The first one-volume edition of the Portrait has conventionally been taken as the novel's original text, and critical interest has focused on the differences between this text and the revised edition of 1908. Focusing on the coherence of the novel and the craft of the writer, critics have concentrated on the stylistic changes James made for the 1908 edition, and viewed the serialized versions and the 1881 book editions as being practically identical. This paper argues, however, that from the point of view of the writer as well as the general reader the differences between the serialized novel and the later book editions were substantial and significant. Working with reference to recent work in serial fiction, this paper considers the distinctive ways in which the first readers of the Portrait might have experienced the novel, and suggests some directions for further study of this topic.}, pages = {47--71}, title = {Text, Context. and Audience : The Portrait of a Lady in The Atlantic Monthly and Macmillan's Magazine, 1880-81}, volume = {6}, year = {1994} }
